[John Vilburn]

If you want a fixed size widget, set the size policy for that widget to fixed.

I'm trying to duplicate the dockwidget on the left. How did fontsampler get around this problem ?   It seems to me that if Creator can't hold a layout for more than a few clicks there is a serious flaw. It makes working with all the contents related to that dockwidget a pain in the ass.

I then opened a source file and then went bak to the ui view. The dockWidget had reset it's size back to it's original size. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to keep it from auto resizing itself. Is this a bug ?  Is there a way to fix this problem ?
